Styler Modification

In Guardian Signs, after escorting Nema to her house and putting out the fire, the player will gain access to the Styler modification feature of the Styler. With this feature, the player can use collected Ranger Points to improve certain statistical aspects of the Styler at their own discretion. Leveling up normally (through experience collected by making captures) will still increase the Styler's abilities, but the modification system allows the player to further upgrade their Styler on top of that.

Ranger Points

To modify the Styler, the player needs to pay a specified amount of Ranger Points. Ranger Points can be collected in the following ways:

• Completing a Mission rewards the player with 50 Ranger Points.
• Completing a Quest also rewards the player with a set amount of points.
• Capturing a Pokémon and receiving an S rank for the capture awards 1 point. This can only be obtained one time per Pokémon species, the first time it is captured with an S rank.

The total amount of obtainable points is 2,101, and the total cost to fully upgrade all Styler modification options is 2,100. All Missions and Quests must be completed, and all but one Pokémon must be captured with an S-rank to achieve this.

Modifications

When the modification system first becomes available, only three options are available to upgrade: Energy Plus, Power Plus, and Line Plus. The other options become available after completing Mission 5: Rescue Ben/Summer! and having Nema modify both the player's and Ben/Summer's Stylers. The tables below indicate the levels and values of the options.

• Energy Plus
• Power Plus
• Line Plus
• Defense Plus
• Charge Plus
• Recovery Plus
• Latent Power Plus

Energy Plus

Energy is the HP value of the Styler. Leveling it up provides a flat boost to total HP. When leveled up, the extra Energy gained is not automatically healed.

Power Plus

Power is the 'damage' value of the Styler, indicating how much of a Pokémon's Friendship Gauge is filled when looping it. Leveling it up provides a flat boost to the Power amount.

Line Plus

Leveling up the Line level results in a longer capture line.

Defense Plus

Leveling up the Defense level results in less damage being taken from attacks on the Styler.

Charge Plus

Leveling up the Charge level results in a shorter time required to charge the Power Charge.

Recovery Plus

Leveling up the Recovery level results in Styler energy being restored after captured.

Latent Power Plus

Leveling up the Latent Power level results in a boost to Styler power when Styler energy is low.
